Description
A new zombie outbreak overtakes Victorian England…and Alice's only sanctuary is the man who once tried to eat her.
At eighteen, Alice Liddell is forced to return to the rooms of the Reverend Charles Dodgson—the undead photographer, the mathematician, the man who wrote her into a story she cannot escape. She has been glad not to see him for eight years. She resents him for turning her into a fairytale heroine of a world that never existed. But her mother insists on the visit: all her daughters are to be photographed, as marriage-market calling cards.
Then Dodgson leans close and whispers a warning that changes everything.
Before Alice can make sense of his words, her secret love—youngest son of Queen Victoria, Prince Leopold—shatters her heart. The marriage she hoped for will never happen. The future she imagined crumbles to ash.
And then the screaming begins.
The dead flood Oxford's cobbled streets. Alice, Leopold, and two desperate students flee through priest-holes and servants' passages with only croquet mallets for weapons. Their one chance at survival: reach Dodgson's rooms before the swarm breaks through.
Alice must trust the monster who nearly destroyed her—or become one of the shambling dead herself.
Step back into Underland, where the greatest danger isn't always the one wearing shackles.
…
